MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump Appears to Have Done With Brazil What We Already Know He Did With Russia, Ukraine, China, Israel, Egypt, Saudia Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates—Solicit Illegal Election Interference in a Way That Should Have Led to His Immediate Impeachment
PS/ Sen. Susan Collins ("I think he's learned his lesson") has yet to comment on this story, I believe
PS2/ A notion I encountered in writing Proof of Corruption is that Trump claims the proof of Ukraine colluding with Clinton includes a Ukrainian official writing an op-ed critical of him; keep that in mind when you read about what Bolsonaro's son said, words Trump gladly accepted
PS3/ Good Lord how did I forget Turkey, he also colluded with Turkey in an attempted genocide (in exchange for the continued protection and special treatment of his business interests in Turkey) and *that* is something both Democrats *and* Republicans in DC believe

I've seen 5 or 6 public health officials on TV today telling everyone that one of the 5 key things to do no matter where you live in America is avoid crowded indoor spaces, and just when you think they must be including small classrooms in that nope they magically just meant bars
I've yet to see an explanation from even one public health official as to why it's necessary for Americans to avoid crowded indoor spaces (and to be clear I 100% agree that it's necessary) but that this magically excludes *one* type of crowded indoor space, that being a classroom
I watched a whole CNN town hall tonight on the pandemic and kept waiting for someone to ask this, to me the single most obvious question anyone would ask in view of new government guidance telling everyone to stay out of crowded indoor spaces: why doesn't this include classrooms?

The China-TikTok issues are real/nonzero. That doesn't mean Trump should be intervening in this way in the social media sphere so close to an election—especially with Instagram Reels soon to launch and after some high-profile political embarrassments at the hands of TikTok users.
PS/ According to his own former National Security Advisor, Trump has told Xi of China that his dealings with Beijing are guided by re-election concerns. That alone would raise concerns he is manufacturing a spat with China—which he does much business with—to aid his re-election.
PS2/ But that TikTok has been in the news lately because the most popular comedian critiquing Trump in America—Sarah Cooper—uses TikTok for her comedy, and that Trump's campaign re-launch was scuttled by young TikTok users, adds substantially to concern about his actions here.

(THREAD) In 5 years, I've never accused anyone of being a foreign disinformation agent. That changes today—as scary things are happening I need to talk about and Twitter needs to grapple with involving a dangerous anonymous disinformation feed. I hope you'll read on and retweet.
1/ The anonymous disinformation feed I discuss in this thread is @BlazerLegacy. This account is an increasingly popular—also increasingly unhinged—source of disinformation about the election and critics of the president. It has all the hallmarks of a coordinated foreign campaign.
2/ As anyone who reads my feed knows, I have a book coming out in September (insert wry joke about self-promotion). This will be the first book in the NYT bestselling Proof series that comes out right before an election. Proof of Collusion (2018) came out just after the midterms.
